The FMU-152A/B is a cockpit-selectable bomb fuze employed in MK-80 series warheads (both guided and unguided variations), and both the 2000lb and 5000lb series Penetrator warheads. The FMU-152A/B fuze system consists of the fuze, the FZU-63/B fuze initiator, a closure ring, and power cable. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate this contract with only one source as set forth in FAR Part 13. Interested parties must submit statements of capability (SOC) or a capabilities package addressing demonstrated technical knowledge of the Joint Programmable Fuze (FMU-152A/B) requirements for operational performance, interface requirements for guided munitions/general purpose bombs, interface requirements for required US and Allied aircraft, and system safety requirements; Responders to this synopsis will not be provided the results of the Government evaluation of their qualifying package.

The NAIC Code/Size Standard is 332993/1,500 employees. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by submitting Statements of Capability to provide technical support to the JPF Program Office for sled test support on 26 June 2013 at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS.
